Lights appearing seperate one after the other in a line out of nowhere in sky moving northeast as other lights that were not moving off on either side of the line of the other lights began moving and had a different color to them orange not bright white or bluish like others. They seem to be doing a military like staggered and protect formation. There were two that laid behind for a while as if to cover where the “caravan” had come from for about 5 more minutes. They moved in the sky effortlessly changing directions which is impossibly for a drone or plane. And I can say I see at this distance ... well they were moving really fast. Faster than any plane or rocket anything on this earth. My partner and I were astonished and tried to get video but my phone was a fail. I’m certain now that we are not alone. And I can’t find anybody who saw the same as we did. It wasn’t space x it wasn’t satellites it was not from here unless there’s a cover up from the public.

May 1, 2020 Driving on the 10 freeway at 8:00ish PM from California to Arizona near mile marker 43 just before the Vicksburg Rd exit 45. 2 sets of 3 large orangish glowing lights in a row side by side above and just beyond the hills directly on the north side of the freeway. They weren’t high enough to be a plane and they were just sitting there not moving in any direction. I assumed they were connected to a tower to alert air traffic of the small mountain/foothill. The height was too high to be a tower but it was pitch dark and I was trying to make sense of it. As I pointed them out to my sister and cousin in the car, they turned off. Not all at once but kind of just like powered down quickly. I waited for them to come on thinking if they were on a tower, they’d be on a timer and they would reappear on and off. They didn’t. About 15 seconds after they went out, there was a tiny flash of white light in the darkness where the other lights had been. Still I was the only one who saw it. Thankfully, about 15 seconds after that, 3 of the lights came back on and stayed on for a few seconds in which my cousin was able to witness them as well before turning off again for good. Then another larger white flash of light and then nothing. We kept looking and nothing again. We watched behind us until we were too far. They were gone. So 2 days later we were driving back home to California and as we came up on that same mountain/foothill, we investigated to make sure there wasn’t a tower there. There was nothing. Just desert. Also, just west of where we saw the lights there is a foothill with towers on it, lots. But they were far behind us at the time we saw the lights and they are clearly visible whereas the foothill we saw the lights near has nothing on them or on the ground below. Just don’t want anyone to think we saw the foothill with the towers, it was definitely behind us at the time where these were directly to our left (north). Maybe someone knows what this was but I’ve made this drive multiple times a year for the past 15 years and I’ve never seen anything like that out in the darkness. I have no explanation.

First saw 3 lights star looking in formation then breaking of in random directions then saw multiple lights flying over head. Some moving in a straight line some wavering and some changing direction in mid flight and one slightly hovering over us. All were moving South to north very fast

North Saanich (Canada), BC · Canada
Hello, I am contacting you after an American friend from WA state suggested I do so. I live on Vancouver Island, BC, and witnessed an unusual phenomenon at around 06:49 in the sky this morning... A bright pulsating/flashing light flying fast and low over Saanich Inlet. At first I thought it was a small airplane in the distance we live near the airport and a military helicopter base), but it wasn't making any noise. Then I thought it was a drone....but the light seemed too big, and the speed at which it travelled was very fast. It came from the South end of Saanich Inlet, and was headed over towards Cowichan Bay. The object passed by me so fast, that I couldn't get my video up and running in time. I know it wasn't just me hallucinating after all this COVID-19 isolation or an issue with my eyes, because even the flock of around 50 Stellar Jays which were on our property got startled. I called the airport, as I know they have cameras set up aroud the inlet. Haven’t heard back yet.

Draper, UT
I went out to sit in the hot tub at about. 5:00 am. I finally looked up and saw this parade of lights at high altitude going from NW to SE. They were traveling far enough where I could see 3 at a time. When the first one would fade away I looked for another. And there was. I don't know if I saw the beginning or not but I got up to 10 and could see no more. Evenly spaced out, Straight line. No variation from one to the next. It seamed like they were spaced out 35 seconds. But whatever it was, it was consistent from one to the next.

About 4:15 in the morning on May 1rst I was outside with my dog and saw what looked like two identical satellites that were about as bright as a 1rst magnitude star moving out of the WNW sky . They both were moving one behind the other in straight line about 10 degrees apart and continued crossing the sky maintaining the same distance apart as they traveled towards the ESE . I went back in the house thinking how weird that was and about 10 minutes later when I looked out the window I saw two more lights moving in the same exact path as before . I know it's impossible for a satellite to circle the Earth in ten minutes so I ran back outside to see what was going on , only this time new satellites kept appearing one after the other all in a perfectly straight line and all equally spaced until there were six of them moving out of the WNW passing close to Arcturus coming nearly overhead then dimming out one by one in ESE sky .They each took several minutes to fly! by . There was no noise . I've an amateur astronomer for about 45 years and have never seen anything like this before . What were they ?

Noticed the light (looked like a planet) & saw that it was slightly movements to the right & left but other times would zigzag around fast.

On April 30, 2020 at approximately 22:00 I was looking up while sitting on my deck. What appeared as two of the brighter stars near each other, about the width of your first two fingers making a peace sign held to the sky, as I did to measure, were moving in a southeast direction. Seeing them move was surprising. At about the rate of 5 seconds from my first to second finger. But, after that I saw more stars, there were no colors or blinking and the sky was clear. They came at the same spacing and continued. I counted 25 when I saw two side by side. After these, the single line continued and there came another 25 and again one pair side by side. A minute after these ended, I saw a larger rectangle object, which looked like the space station. I had seen the space station before and this looked and moved like it, from west to east. But, I looked up the spot the station site and it wasn't supposed to be visible here until 04:00. I read about the satellites in your site, but 50?

As I was going for my evening walk, I looked up in the sky and initially I thought I saw stars but I noticed that these star-like figures were moving in the sky. They moved all at once in almost a perfectly straight line. The line was diagonal had a downward slope if you look from left to right. There was somewhere between 10 and 20 of these star-like figures and they all were moving in the same direction, at the same speed, and at the same pace. The sky was dark and these figures glided across the sky and within no more than 1-2 minutes, the figures were completely out of my sight.

Redmond, WA
Last night (April 30) my wife and I observed a peculiar occurrence in the sky. We live a few miles east of Redmond WA. We decided to spend some time in our hot tub, and about 9:20 PM my wife went in first. When I joined her about 5 minutes later, she said she was seeing something strange in the sky, namely a series of moving lights. These were points of light about the brightness of a 3- or 4-magnitude star, moving one after another in a straight line from northwest to southeast, evenly spaced, moving at the same speed, and apparently quite high up. From our position the line or track initially led directly toward the star Arcturus, but slowly shifted westward a few degrees. From our deck we could see the track for about a quarter of the sky, from the eave of our house directly overhead to some trees on the edge of our property. An individual light took 30 or 40 seconds to traverse this interval, and a new one would appear before the previous one had disappeared. My wife said she had already seen perhaps a dozen when I came out, and together we witnessed maybe 20 or 30 more. After about 15 minutes, clouds moved in, lit by the quarter moon high in the west, and obscured our vision. We frequently see aircraft while in the hot tub, most commonly flying east to west, at no great height, and showing some typical combination of white, red and green lights. But the lights we saw last night were nothing like this. (In fact, we only saw one other aircraft during this interval, flying up from the south at moderate altitude and passing to the southeast. Even it was a bit atypical, having only two bright yellowish-white lights like car headlights.) My first thought was that we were seeing some military transport, but the sheer number of lights seemingly makes this explanation unlikely. In summary, I have been watching the sky my whole life, and have never witnessed anything like this event. My wife was a bit unnerved. Any insight you can ! provide would be most appreciated.

I went outside look straight up in the sky and there was A-line of lights moving a cross the sky. They were moving North to South In a straight line they would appear About a quarter off the horizon North and disappeared about a quarter off the horizon South. Some were only a single light but some had a light next to it just behind it trailing. They were also solid lights no flashing lights seen. I have a friend that lives about a 100 miles away from me and he went outside and looked up in the sky and saw the same thing. I couldn't get any video because it was too dark but I do have 4 pictures.

Initially saw what looked like a straight line constellation over the horizon, but quickly realized they were moving. They moved steady and equidistant, north to south, except for the last which was close behind to the second-to-last and off to the right. They did not move very fast, and seemed to be very high up or smaller objects. All were in my view and another witness' view for 15 to 30 seconds before seemingly disappearing or going out of view. We live in an area with a fair amount of light pollution, so I couldn't see them trail off, it moreso seemed like they weren't there anymore. All gave off the same amount of light and I could not see an outline. There were no other lights on it, the object(s) was just one source of white light.

It was a consistent line of moving lights evenly spaced, whereas halfway through the sky each one disappeared as each one appeared out of nowhere. No sound.

I watched a string of lights, most equally spaced with two places where 2 were side by side movin from NNW toward SSE in perfect alignment . By the time I opened my iphone camera the only picture I got was of the last 4. One leading and 2 together and the 4th made a triangle. The moon was too bright and high in the sky to get a decent picture. If there is an explanation of what these were I would welcome hearing back.

I was walking my dog at night. Moon was out. As i was walking back to the house i noticed how beautiful the night sky was. I decided to look up on my phone what planets were visible. I look up again and i noticed movement. Then more. There was about 20 lights spaced apart moving across the sky in a row. I called my son at 9:14 pm and he made it outside just in time to see about 6 of these lights. No blinking and the last 2 lights appeared to be side by side as a rear guard kind of formation. Was a very exciting visual experience. Not sure if it was musks satellites . The last 2 lights side by side makes me think not satellites. .

A line of 29 lights in formation moving from the northwest heading southeast. They were white lights with no navigation lights. The spacing was equal except the last light in the formation was a little closer than the spacing of the others. The craft appeared to be 30-40000 ft moving at 800-1000 kts. the last craft accelerated at about twice the speed of the others and overtook them. This report was relayed to me by my father immediately after it happened. My father is a pilot and would not report this. He was very affected by this sighting. He didn't think they fit with any military craft he was familiar with.

I originally looked toward the southwest sky to observe the Moon. I then saw a string of lights moving West to East. The lights were only as bright as a medium star, no blinking. The lights were in a perfect straight line one behind the other, approximately 15 to 20 of them. There may have been more prior to my noticing them. When the light would get to left of my center they would faid out of sight. From my distance they appear to be an inch apart but I'm sure they were miles apart. The very last light had another light slightly behind and out of line with all the others.

I went out to smoke i always watch the sky when i seen 6 white lights high in the sky flying 2x2 with 1 in the front lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds ran in to get someone to witness it they were gone. So i kept watching the sky then see 2 more white light side by side about 20 minutes later then about 10 minutes later seen 1 more whote light then about 5 to 10 mins later seen another white light those stayed lit until they were to far to see anymore. They were very high in the sky not like a meteor or plane or copter. They looked like stars looks just as bright the lights didnt flicker just stayed bright until they were to far to see anymore. I tried to get a video, but my phone wouldnt pick it up.

I submitted this last week. Please look at what I said then. IN addition to my report last week I found out that my picture is the SAME UFO that was filmed by the Skinwalker Ranch last summer. NOt one like it, but the exact same freaking craft as they showed in their second episode. My son in law is contacting the producers of the Skinwalker Ranch show because of the coincidence. I would like to talk to someone from you institution.

Ok so tonight It is half moon with clear sky and many visible stars there was a straight line of about 100 starlike lights moving They were in a straight line they looked like regular white stars just moving in a line within the same distance of each other ... not like a shooting star or a comet it looked like airplanes moving. we were in our backyard which faces west and the lights were coming from the north toward the west but up to the sky toward the moon if that makes sense U can tell they were very far up because they were tiny from where we were and as soon as they were within the moons moonlight range each one one by one disappeared.... just like that There were about 100 just flying upward evenly spaced and in the same straight in sync line and disappearing one at a time ... and in the middle of it there was one of the stars coupled with another one as if a double-fleet. Then at the end when the group of stars or ufos were finishing the final about 5-8 were just riding without having any synchronization or they were just going at their own pace. This lasted for three minutes.

We spotted an indigo light shining through the clouds to the east of the city, the brightness increased significantly twice before dimming to a faint hue and eventually disappearing.
